Why flagged

The font archive is downloaded directly from a bare IP address (34.233.129.205) rather than from the official upstream domain (tipografiagandhi.com). While the content is a font (pure data, not executed code), the OTF files are installed into the system font directory and could theoretically be crafted to exploit font-parsing vulnerabilities in applications. More importantly, the use of a raw IP address with no verifiable relationship to the official vendor is a genuine supply-chain concern: the host could be a transient cloud instance (AWS us-east-1 range) with no long-term accountability, and there is no way to verify it is actually operated by Tipografía Gandhi. The sha512sum provides some integrity protection, but only against accidental corruption or a one-time substitution — it does not establish provenance. This is a real medium-severity supply-chain concern: unofficial/unverifiable host serving files that get installed into the system, even if the immediate payload is font data rather than executable code.

Triggered rules

Medium source=() URL on a non-standard host source_untrusted_domain

One or more source=() URLs point to a host outside the trusted allowlist (github.com, gitlab.com, codeberg.org, pypi.org, …).
